Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay 2012

Tangerine, pear, orange blossom, subtle vanilla on the nose, very pleasant and inviting. Medium acidity that raises when the temperature decreases, balance with fruit beautifully, medium body and round. Long lasting with a hint of Creme brûlée and orange pith. 3 years in the bottle has done this wonders. If anything, a touch high alcohol . — 8 years ago

Alta Colina

Toasted Slope Estate Syrah 2010

Opaque violet color with appealing graphite, toast, smoke, black fruit, and spice aromas. On the palate it medium-bodied, fresh and harmoniously structured with a supple texture, and well integrated fine tannins with black cherry, black raspberry, a hint of dark roast coffee, and subtle spice flavor accented with an wonderful minerality. Long finish. 15.5% alcohol — 9 years ago

Colson Canyon Syrah

A pleasant inky Syrah from a vineyard just outside the Santa Maria AVA; Tensley has scored well with this wine, and Alta Maria should easily do the same. — 9 years ago
